THE DELIGHTS OF SMITH VIL LE. OYSTKUK AT TIIK BOTTOM OK THE BAY — l l A vx:;i Ft x \V:TU A UKI SEA L'L'RTLE. Smitliville is thirty miles from Wil mington, N. 0., at tbi mouth of the t'upo Fear river. In tlie bay in front of Stnithville is toon island, which is inhabited hy un infinite number of rac coons. Nobody takes the trouble to hunt thorn, because nobody cares to eat iheiu. Not even tha darkies know there how good roast 'coon is. Almost all the bottom of the groat bay is covered with enormous natuial beds ot the larg est, fattest and moPt dcliciously flavor ed oysters imogiuable Successive gen erations of oysters through ages pas have piled their (shells upon those of their predecessors until they have made solid masses ofsliolK. like rock or coral [reefs, as much as twenty-five feet in depth. In many places they have buil ded uutil new they arc out of water at low tide, and the buys of Smithvillo find I4t handy ~nd amusing to '.y.ild 6>-s on i them when the tide is out and ro isiing I thcrn in their beds, fl.rting each oyster • out of his shell ?9 he is cooked aud swal i lotting him. The tide uses and falls about livo feet. Monster green turtles, some weigh ing as much as 1,500 pounds each, fre quent the beach all the way down to j l'ort Caswell, four miles below the town. ! People eat their eggs, but do not eat | the turtles. Reach patties of young i folks go down there, gather beautiful | shells, have dances on the hard sand in : the moonlight, roust oysters aud have | fun with the turtles. When a female j turtle wishes to lay her eggs she crawls up the sandy beach to a place that suits ! her fancy with her flippers a b,g hole iu tho saud and lays ill the hole 200 or 300 eggs. Ihe eggs are nut dumped in a pile, but laid out smoothly I and ueatly in rows. When she com mences laying it makes no odds to her how big a beach party stands around superintending the process. Sh-attends strictly to business, and it the eggs arc I taken from the hole as fast as she lays j them it does not at all disesurage oi f frighten her. When she gets Ihrougli she scrapes the sand back into the bole whether the eggs are there or not and i than starts back for tho water. Thai is tho time for tho beach party to havi fun with her. As iflatiy of them as cat mount her big, dome like back do so | aud sho carrie.-, them right down to the water's edge where thoy jump off anc : sho goes on. She does not seem to tniui I their weight or show any disposition u roseut their good naturcd familiarity Sometimes they turo her over ou hei | back, but after the has helplessly pawoi the air a little while they right her agaii and she waddles ofT. Of course, tlier | must be something wrong mentally in pcoplo who can fumblo around turtles In that way without ever think iug of eating tbem. And thoy don't eat soft clams eitlioi though tho beach sand is packed full c | those excellent biyalvos. Indeed, tb ! | very idea of eating them seems to awaV l eu feelings of disgust aud loathin ' I auvmg tho darkies. Nor do they eat tii mussels, which are abundant, liar - clatns, of wbioh there a few millions i pretty mush every place whore anybod' I might look tor them in the bay, they d eat, but not with any particular enthus asm, though their hard clams are reall very fine.—New Yoik Times Tho new land improvement enterpri recently started in Alabama, by Govei nor Gordon's syndicate, has its capili of $7,500,000 all taken, and is orgsnij cd to pusli to immediate work. Ni less than four iron furnaces arc irclude I among the feat-ires of the enterprise. j DEMAND FOR PINK L|T.MI>HR. j Tho demand for South'n n pine lumber is certainly increasing I'cadil'- if not rapidly. It has |ualitio9 which tunke secure tl e hold it lias upon the markets I in which it has been sold and which in ! sure it a welcome where over it is itilro- . | duecd. The indication of a coming boom in the vellow l ine lumber bnsiuess has been alluded to frequently during the pail few months. The most notable pointer was the buying of immense tracts ! ; of. pine land Valley | Lst win'or .c, JHawl an' j ' and speculators. 1 'I he Chicago Lumberman notes tho j fact of the si ipunmt of a large bill of yellow pine flooring from Mississippi to , Dulutli, Minn., a distance of 1,200 miles by rail. It is to be used ih the con struction -if a uew mammoth elevator at I that place. It is also stated that the largest warehouse iu Chicago is being partially built of Bou*h;rc pine, an-l that the builders of that section of the j Union are just beginning to appreciate , tlie valuo of this wood for heavy timbers as well as for flooring and other uses I where gtcat strength aud durability are ! required. | Probably tho great cause of the m | creased demand for Southern pice in 4he Northw st is the favorable freight ! rates made possible by tho adoption of the standard gauge by Southern railroads ilt is more that probable that thii demand will increase very rapidly tu the i uear future. Should this be the case tho price cf lumber and timber will | certainly be favorably aff. aled for the producer, and the material wealth of the ! South bo thereby very largely increased. I It behooves tho owners of pine lands, 1 J therefore, as well as manufacturers of 1 lumber, to keep their eyes open and be ' ready to take advantage of develop ments.— Iron Philadelphia. i " I If we are not as enterprising and "go I j ahead" as some people, wo are largo ' | hearted aud ohuttnhli. There is an ' old saying that charit, *!v,;;!d begin at K j home, but that would savor of sulfish r ! ucs., and we will not bo called by that ' j hard name.'

They u.ake good hay > ! and put it up iu convenient bales for us. 'I We pay their prtoe willingly. We did r ; tlunk we would raiso a part (if our meat, but cholera killed our hogs and wo ls might as well buy our meat as to bey 0 cholera cure; besides that, we ought 8 to do our share towurd.i developing the r | great West To be sure we eat their '' ; flour rather than raiso wheat, hut it c would not be fair to patronize the miller | andliot the butcher.

I lnd., in relation to artificial swarming j says: "It is much easier to divide your | bees and have the job done with, than j to be ooustautly on the lookout for them j to send forth swarms. Natural swarm- j ing is very unreliable. Those who have j never practiced artifi.-ial swaruiing ha ! j better roll up their sleeves nnd go at it, | and our word for it tiiey will discover i t at it is not half as much trouble as I thoy imagined. It is much easier to | make a swarm than to have a natural i one. Give it a trial and see." I have often received letters asking lif it would pay to keep bees. There aro to-day over 400,000 bee-keepers in tho Uuitcd Stales, and yet there is room for many thousands more, for wo are | well aware that there arc many millions of pounds of honey going to waste au nu.illy for want of bees to gather tho ncctai of tho flowers, To further an- I swor those who mty wish to know what I has been and is beiug done. I here give a icport of a single instanco cf a | beginner, commencing with the season lof ISftil, who, with ooe good strung j stock of Italian bees to commence with, | made a new swarm May 13 ; on the 21st i the old hive full of bees and a box of ) honey weighing IS pounds; the new I htvo full of bees aud wonting in the sur- I plus frames ; the second swarm from ! the old hive, treating them with clean, I empty combs, sumo as the first, except j that sh- gave theui a capped quoen, all ; from the lirst, in plaoo of blood.
